***OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: Florida vs ECU Birmingham Bowl***

[Gator98MD]

Ok now we need to get to the business of repairing this team. Ball is in your court coach Mac

 

[GatorTAG]

Why don't we get crazy and try a double pass on 3rd down?

Haha!

We can't complete 1 pass, let alone 2.

 

[heversle]

:) Lol. I was half-joking, but I was thinking of anything that would get the ball out of Driskel's hands. Luckily, he performed well when the game was on the line.

 

[RocketCityGator]

At least Driskel goes out on a high note. Good for him. I wish the kid good luck in the future.

Same here!

 

[Left Coast Gator]

I think Driskel played very well today, despite a blown call by the ref and four drops of well thrown passes.I hope our new coach can convince him to stay.

 

[NavetG8r]

Yay we won!

Agree up to the end. No offense, but I'd like to see JD gone. He will look good enough in practice and will be tempting go because of his experience. But we all know what were going to get, at least at this point. He's likely been fried with all the poor coaching and changes, which isn't entirel his fault. But it doesn't change reality. Time to move on for both of us.

I CANT WAIT for this program to flush the remnants of Chimpball. The whole damn program has Mushstank.

It's hard to get Dawgshiiit off your shoe.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

I hope not.

I think he got a helmet to the cojones.

 

[dubster1]

on the way to g'ville for helmet stickers "whos with me"?

 

[TallyGator]

Ugly wins are better than any loss...so Go Gators. Defense got a nice workout today. Offense showed McElwain exactly what he needs to work on. Backups playing was a definite plus...injuries a definite minus. And Driskell? No turnovers...no scores either, but no turnovers. Now please move on so we can repair this mess.

 

[GatorJ]

I'm so glad we have a new offensive coaching staff coming in. These receivers can't catch to save their lives. Other then Dunbar and Robinson they just can't catch. I'm hoping that Worton is different. Westbrook routinely missed blocks all game. Even on Driskel's game clinching run he was completely lost on trying to block for him.

Driskel actually look pretty good. But nobody could catch the damn ball. Pitiful. I see why Adam Lane hasn't been starting. He can run. But he can't catch worth ****.

 

[Alvin York]

Wow! 28-20 over mighty ECU. Look out world here come the Gators.

10 - 0 versus the volunqueers last decade.

Agreed. I'm going to give Jeff the benefit of the doubt and lay a share of the blame for his performance at UF on bad coaching and piss-poor player development, and poor performance by the OL and receivers . But I do believe that Jeff needs a fresh start. He needs to transfer.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

No, he can't catch for sh**, but does it matter when you run the ball 80% of the time? We play TEs who might as well be Edward Scissorhands because they allegedly can block--of which I've seen almost no evidence--because we were a running team and running was all that mattered. Ditto for the WRs, blocking well or get off the field.

Who cares if you can't catch? Obviously not our staff. Why would the rules be different for RBs? Why do we then play RBs who can't run just because they can catch or block? It's like Dr. Seuss logic.

Flushcrap. Wish we had flushed earlier.

 

[VulcanAlex]

Well we also play QBs because they can (we think) run rather than they can read defenses and throw the ball to the open receiver accurately. I would like to see game film so as to tell if receivers were open on not. I suspect that they really don't get separation somewhat due to poor design and perhaps poor execution. Burton caught a well thrown ball along the sideline but we never even tried it again to anybody. This team does not believe in the short to intermediate passing game at all, no throwing on first down. Just bubble screens and bombs. Hopefully new coaches will develop a complete offense rather than the one that Roper ran this year.

It's just scary how this team of skill players has band hands for the most part. Drops ruins the confidence of the Gator QB's too.

Get to work coach Mac you have a ton of work to do. Good luck.

 

[rogdochar]

When we have a 100th ranked offense, it means 100 college teams across the nation have better offenses than we do.
Start looking at the conferences that stink and realize most all those teams have better ranked offenses than UF !

Sorry, brah but Dunbar has more drops than anyone, although Westbrook has, of course, the game killing drops.
